I had a 99 model and sold it to a friend a couple of years ago with 60,000 km on the clock. It had never skipped a beat and with a sheepskin seat cover I and my wife could do 1000 km days no problem. Biggest mistake I made was "upgrading" to the 1050. It has now done nearly 80,000 km and the current owner still loves it.
Givi make racks for it - or used to! With a topbox and 2 x 36 litre panniers we could carry everything we needed for 2-up touring.
I highly recommend it for tarmac touring.
